Platforms and Pitfalls Episode 20 - Updates and new content

This month are continuing our dominant strategies series, a long-form series looking at dominant strategies and how games prevent them. This is third of five intended episodes.

In this episode, we focus on how games try to steer players away from dominant strategies using the power of the internet to update them! We look at Dead Cells, Diablo 3, HearthStone, Granblue Fantasy and Street Fighter V
